The Calves

Daisy and Bess and Rose all had calves in the
spring.The calves are learning to
eat hay, so they only get a little milk to drink.Daisy’s calf and Bess’ calf are both bull calves, but Rose’s calf
is a heifer — a girl-calf.Sarah
has named her Pansy.Mother will
raise Pansy to be a milk cow.In
two or three years, if all goes well, little Pansy will have a calf of her own.

What will happen to the bull calves?Henry is training them to pull a little cart.When they get bigger, they will learn to pull heavy loads, and then they
will be called oxen.
